Over the summer, The New York Times reported about the rollout of a relatively new "Milk Jug for a Green Earth". Now in 189 stores throughout the country, the novel design requires less material to manufacture, and its boxy shape allows the jugs to be stacked closely together, requiring less fuel to transport and less energy to cool.
For years, hospitals in New York City waged a medical arms race, in part because they are packed so closely together; Cabrini is less than a mile from four much bigger, wealthier competitors.
There is growing evidence that if doctors work more closely together, their patients are hospitalized less frequently, recover more quickly from illness and suffer fewer complications.
Components that shared multiple substructures were structurally similar and clustered more closely together in the network than less related structures.
Where seed is broadcast, the seedlings are not spaced as closely together as when drilled, so there is less competition between them at high seed rates during establishment.
A meta-analysis using Fisher's method to assess whether these groups clustered closely together as a whole yielded a P value that is less than the numerical resolution of the analysis software.
Clusters such as M62 where the stars are packed very closely together and the rate of close encounters is high have more X-ray binaries than those such as M30 in which close encounters occur less often.
The businesses within each cluster work closely together to serve the same customer segments, but collaboration across clusters is less important.
It is shown that ionomer materials that are less prone to swelling from hydration and tend to pack closely together in the solid state will result in stronger catalyst ionomer interfacial interactions.
In plantations, where the plants grow more closely together, both adults and larvae can move more easily between plants and are therefore less likely to become concentrated on certain plant individuals, which should reduce competition.
